Inferno (2009)
“Then I realize that most of them are just Central students heading to class like they do every day.
Jamie lifts some cardboard signs out of the back of the station wagon and drops them on the ground. NO FREE SPEECH AT CENTRAL, the top one reads. “Here, guys,” he says. “Stick these up anywhere you can. And if anyone asks you what you’re doing, see if you can get them to join the protest. We want the classrooms to be empty. That should get their attention.”
He flags down a passing student, a seri...ous-looking girl carrying a stack of books. “Hey, you know your school doesn’t recognize your right to free speech?”
She looks at him like he’s crazy and keeps on walking. Jamie strides off into the crowd, handing out flyers and talking to anyone who will listen. Leo grabs a stack of signs and follows him, heading toward the front doors of the school.
I look at Parker, feeling oddly disengaged from what is going on.
She tucks her thumbs through her belt loops. “So.”
“So.”MoreLess
